Don't listen to the haters, OP. You've got this. I suggest that you read a couple of books on RV and van living, though. It will give you a great perspective.
There are a lot of workarounds for modern convenience. Living in an RV is not an easy prospect, but it is very doable.
Here are a few practical guides, though many of them pertain to living in a 15 passenger or cargo van.

I also suggest /r/vandwellers and /r/gorving for tips and tricks on living in a small mobile space.
Bob Wells' How to Live in a Car, Van or RV. Good overview and only $3.
For boondocking I liked:
Sunny Skye's RV Boondocking Basics: Living Well on the Road Less Graveled and pretty much anything by Difley.
The guy who runs the CheapRVLiving YouTube channel has a pretty short book about full timing which you can find here. In it he talks a lot about the dangers that come with the lifestyle, the fear, and how in the end, if you wanna pursue full timing you have to face it. I can't recommend the book enough, Bob is fantastic and reading it helped me clear my head about full timing quite a bit. Can't wait to start full timing myself but I can't pretend I'm not a little scared still.
I did the vanlife thing for about a year after I ETS'd. I converted a 2001 Dodge Ram conversion van and traveled around out west. Was fun but can't imagine doing that while still active. Anyway here's some resources I used.

I would recommend Bob Wells' "How to Live in a Car, Van or RV". It has the basic, nuts-and-bolts info you need to get out there.
Remember you don't need a sweet craftsman conversion to travel, save money and have adventure. That's just the (expensive) icing on the cake. Starting simply is far better than not starting at all, and lets you add what you really need and nothing you don't.

Im not sure on euro vehicles (maybe the large ford transit with bike carrier?), but there are a few good newbie guides out there. Bob Wells has a pretty good ebook that covers the basics

His website cheaprvliving is a good resource too, if you dig through his articles and blogs you can basically glean all the info from the book too.
